The season is only a month old, but already we've seen some highs and lows for Sunderland.

Thankfully, it's been mainly positive for the Black Cats this term, with Jack Ross' men sitting in sixth place ahead of their break due to international call-ups.

The one blot on the copybook was the 3-0 defeat to Peterborough United last time out which ended their unbeaten start to the campaign.

Two draws in their opening fixtures may have been a slow start to the season, although a point at high-flying Ipswich does look somewhat better now with the Tractor Boys sitting on top of the League One table.

But we have seen impressive wins over Portsmouth, Rochdale and AFC Wimbledon in the first six league games, with Sunderland very much in the promotion hunt.
